the world's biggest ABBA tribute show
Abbamania The Show
Im April 2023 ging die neu gedachte und umgesetzte Produktion von „Abbamania The Show“ erstmalig auf große Arenatournee im deutschsprachige Raum.
With Jacqueline Dunnley-Wendt (show direction and choreography) and Hauke Wendt (music director) MCE Shows took on responsibility for large parts of the show's artistic development. In addition, in close cooperation with the in-house production team of Semmel Concerts Entertainment, many production processes ran through our offices, and rehearsals took place in our studios in Ahrensburg. Star guest on the tour was the Swedish legend and ABBA musician Janne Schaffer .
